In this episode I interview Carolina Quiroga--storyteller, performer, author, and host of the bilingual podcast Tres Cuentos. 

Tres Cuentos explores historical and literary narratives of Latin America. Last year, the podcast was mentioned by Oprah magazine as one of the best Latino and Spanish podcasts for learning and laughing.

In our conversation, Carolina shares the power of connecting with Latin American culture through its stories, music, and art. She also talks about her own language learning journey.

This interview is in English.

Want to win a copy of Carolina's book The Hungry Goddess and the Five Suns?  It's a beautifully illustrated book that tells Aztec origin stories in English with Spanish expressions used throughout.  A great learning resource!  To enter, share this episode on Facebook or Instagram and tag @learnspanishconsalsa and @tres_cuentos_podcast

In Learn Spanish Con Salsa Podcast, our listeners' useful questions are always welcome. They can also help other listeners learn even more about Spanish.

In this espisode, I focus on an interesting question from Alice. She asks: 
"I am wondering if you might explain how and when vaya (ir)and sea (ser) are used in sentences. I know they're are imperative but I've seen them used in other situations."

I answer that question by explaining the different uses of the words with examples using grammar and expressions.

Is it a bit confusing choosing either the right article "la" or "el" to preceed a noun is Spanish? How do you identify and decide which one to use?

 In Spanish, nouns are either masculine or feminine. It is easy to picture gender when we talk about animals or animated objects, but inanimated objects have gender as well. So, how do we identify one from the other?

In this episode, I give the rules for recognizing feminine nouns in Spanish, based on word endings and a hack that gives you an easy way to remember them.

Have you ever read or listened to a word in Spanish that sounds or seems really similar to a word in English?

Have you also wondered if that word means actually the same thing in both languages?

Well, sometimes they do, but sometimes... they differ significantly in meaning.

In this episode, I'm sharing some of those "false friends" so you can avoid making an embarrassing mistake in the future and increase your Spanish vocabulary.

Let's learn Spanish with an uplifting salsa song by Salsa Giants called Bajo la tormenta (Under the Storm).  We'll explore how to use el que in Spanish with the letra (lyrics) from the song's chorus.

I'll also give a few phrases you can use in conversations with your language exchange partners as we're all dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Listen to the song and read the lyrics + translation on the show notes page.

Jessica is the founder of For the Love of Bachata, known for its wildly popular dance festivals.  She shares her story of how she went from reluctant Spanish student to Spanish teacher and sought-after Latin music DJ.
